A loss of electrons by an atom creates an anion? true or false

2 answers:

That is false.

An ion is "an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons."

But in detail anion means gaining of electrons.

So, a gain of electrons by an atom creates an anion.

False, a loss of electrons would make the atom positive, it will become a Cation.

A solution of ammonia has a pH of 11.8. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?

balu736 [363]

PH + pOH = 14

11.8 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 11.8

pOH = 2.2

[OH-] = 10 ^- pOH

[OH-] = 10 ^- 2.2

[OH-] = 6.33 x 10^-3 M

Calculate the adjusted retention times for both pentafluorobenzene and benzene if the elution time for unretained solute is 1.06

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Pentafluorobenzene: 11,92 min

Benzene: 12,14 min

Explanation:

Retention time of pentafluorobenzene is 12,98 min and 13,20 min of benzene.

The adjusted retention time is the time an analyte spends in the column not the stationary phase. As time of unretained solute is 1,06 min the adjusted retention time for an analyte is:

tr' = tr - 1,06min

For pentafluorobenzene:

tr' = 12,98min - 1,06min = 11,92 min

For benzene:

tr' = 13,20 - 1,06min = 12,14 min

I hope it helps!
